[AWARDED] IWC 7 Days Portuguese 5001 & 5007 Review and Comparison

[zhuangke]

when did the zf movement came out?

 

[thermalboyz]

5001 came out from ZF YL in Sept 2015. New deco plate around Nov 15. Since then no new improved movement anymore from both Factory.

I really felt in love with this watch so taking the advantage that the ZF Tudor Pelagos is not in stock for next days I think I will replace in my order the Pelagos with this... But I am going to go for the last ZF version... Despite I have to admit a better looking movement of the YL latest version...

JUst receieved a QC fo my 7 day. Number 1 and 11 seem crooked.....is this common?

 

[thermalboyz]

Yes, ZF have Crooked "1" and it's pretty common

[Variatio Delectat]

ack, it's very common with the ones from ZF, unfortunately.

 

[Br10_asp]

My QC pics had the issues, but not too much, of the 1 a bit crocked, only a bit, but my question is if this issue could be solved? Other models just like the Tudor Pelagos of ZF have the same issue with crocked markers and I have seen some members solving it easily... Could be possible in this model???

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Seems the guys at ZF could really use some assembly improvements.

How did the "Pelagos-Members" solve that?

Quite unfortunate that I can't see some of the content... my only reason to join the forum was to precisely obtain information about ZF

what content you can't view and what information you want to obtain about ZF?

Some of them took out the dial and carefully moved to a correct position the hour markers, specially the market @ 3 which is one of the most common to be incorrect. At least at the Pelagos seems to be easy to release hour markers from the back of the dial once it has been taken out.

I apologize, it seems like i was mistaken.

Thank you.

I see, that means a watchsmith could do that easily as well, thanks.

Touche, that could be possible

That would exactly be my opinion too. Having it once will mean it's not be a big deal to make all colors.
